Mandatory High School

The initial shock of the significant workload and expectations can take their toll, but good time management skills can prevent multiple late nights in a row to get assignments done on time. Kelci Lynn Lucier has worked in higher education for ten years, and has experienced students struggle to try and find the balance between extracurricular activities, personal activities, and education priorities. Luckily, Lucier has four tips to help best use the time provided in a day. Lucier’s first step focuses on managing ones academic time and how it needs to be the top priority above all other curricular activities, stating: “It's important to remind yourself why you're in college in the first place: to graduate” (Lucier). Lucier’s second step is be able to manage personal time, she talks about how unrealistic it is to always be working, studying, or learning, she wants students to try and find time to do something fun with friends or a club. Lucier’s third step is to wkeep the students health in mind, it does no good to stay up until two in the morning studying over a history mid-term, only to be half asleep for the test anyway; sleep is important and without can only increase the stress. Lucier’s fourth and final step is to not be afraid to seek help with your time management, she states: “The most important thing to have for time

In Michelle Trudeau study, he found out at least 20 percent of high school students fall asleep in class on a typical day. Expert says teens need a lot of sleep, about 9 to 8hr every night. In response to this some school district have tried delaying the opening of high school hours.

Schools are increasing time available for instruction by extending classes beyond the traditional fifty minutes. The reason for this is because when students are in up to eight classes that are fifty minutes the content can become fragmented. There is less time for students to reflect on the eight subjects they are being taught and can only produce moderate work. Some high schools provide students with dual enrolled courses with a partnering university. If a student decides to use this opportunity, students are able to graduate high school with college credit because of the extended time formats in block scheduling. Teachers at schools benefit greatly because they have time to improve on their pedagogy by learning new and engaging instructional

These people are incorrect because it is more important to come well rested and prepared for class than worrying about after school plans. Students have the weekend for plans when they actually have 2 full days to hang out with their friends. Students worry more about hanging out with friends than having a good education and because of this, they end up doing homework at night when they should really be sleeping. But sometimes they do not stay up because of homework, they stay up on their smartphones texting or checking Facebook looking at what the social media has to say about something that is really

in neurobiology, claims that although there is no direct link in increased daytime sleepiness and cellphone usage, studies show that 80% of students that have a smartphone claim that they need it with them at all time, despite that this does affect their sleeping patterns. Zeiter also describes that the necessity of a smartphone during their bedtime causes people to sleep lighter; which results in people spending less time sleeping, and rather more time trying to get some sleep. Adolescents who get 7 hours of sleep all experience high levels of daytime sleepiness throughout the school day and even feel like falling asleep during their morning classes. If students are falling asleep in their classes, this may be a sign of concern for schools to consider starting moving up their first periods to start at 8:30am., maybe even

Mesut Barazany once said, “ Your future depends on our dreams, So go to bed”. Sleep is vital for your body, to properly function the next day your body needs rest. When students have to wake up at six in the morning to get ready for school, they are often tired throughout the day. School hours need to be changed to a later time in the day. First, students sometimes get overloaded with homework and may not be able to go to bed until late at night. Also, they may not get the amount of sleep they need which is not healthy. Lastly, they are usually not as focused while they are in class, sometimes even falling asleep during a lesson.

It’s important to give students actual time to get their work completed rather than just giving them an overwhelming amount and expecting it to get done on time. While some who may see it as a waste of time don’t see it as a high schooler does. A high schooler can see it as a place of relief, relief that they can give their mind a break or have the time to do their homework so they can keep their grades up. As long as the student is using their precious time for the greater good, there is no reason to see it as a waste of time. What might be a waste of time to you might be helpful to someone

I have spent countless hours in my room studying for the “STAAR” test, doing homework, and writing essays all in one sitting. Maintaining a constant, sensible, schedule is nearly impossible as students have so much on their plates. Some are trying to be well-rounded students, but it is hard because of all the things they must accomplish. They have to make sure they are getting enough sleep the night before an early morning practice which probably did not happen because they were up all night studying for an exam worth half of their grade and they got off work late so they did not get home at a decent hour to begin

Year 12, or Lower Sixth form, is comparable to the 11th grade in theUS. It is the sixth and penultimate year of secondary education. For students who entered secondary school before September 2008,[citation needed] it is not compulsory to attend these last two years. During Year 12, three Advanced Subsidiary units are completed per subject (either written exams, coursework or a mixture, depending on subject). Often students choose four AS-Level subjects in Year 12 (some students may decide to take three or five).

Students would have a higher success rate if they could focus on their studies opposed to focusing how they are going to pay for them. Students who have to work and go to post-secondary education are less focused on their education compared to those who do not have to work. On average, a student should get between eight and nine hours of sleep which is not possible most of the time. If students have to go to school for approximately five hours per day, do one to four hours of homework, and sleep eight-nine hours that all equals to 14-18 hours of their day. How is a student possibly able to work six to eight hours on top of that? Some will say “Work and school combined makes for a more responsible student due to the extra tasks which forces them to use time management appropriately.” Technically yes, however the human body is not built to deal with so many tasks at once. Work can consume up to 40 hours of additional time that a student could use for either extra assignment time or even extra sleep.

I propose Broken Arrow High School remove the exemption policy. Attached is the current BAHS exemption policy. As a senior at BAHS, I am interested in this policy because more students should be able to earn exemptions from finals/semester test regardless of attendance. Students who maintain an A or B in their classes, have already earned their spot for being exempt even with the excused absences. In general, exemptions are a nice treat but it is deeply flawed by focusing only on the “now”; therefore, Broken Arrow High School should remove the exemption policy due to the inflexibility of certain circumstances, the poor preparation of the future, and the risks it imposes on a student’s health.

    With these long school days children don’t have much time to go out and be a kid.  By the time children get home and finish all their homework, there really isn’t much time for sports or spending time with friends and family. Long hours of school put too much pressure on students.  According to the state, students are supposed to have three and a half hours of homework a night. Students are assigned about 17 hours of homework a week. There is a total of 168 hours in a week and 64 of those hours are taken from us by school and homework.  Out of the 24 hours in a day school, homework, and sleep take 18 hours, which leaves students with just 6 hours to do things.  Combine that with sports and after school activities, the average practice for most sports are 2 to 3 hours, which leaves the student with only 3 hours for themselves. If you add dinner into the equation which can take up to an hour ,then students only have two hours a day. Some students also have chores which can take up to an hour or even sometimes more.  What can a student do with only 1 hour of time a day for their personal goals.

“Know your limitations and destroy them” A motto that all students should go by because it could be motivation to some students. But for some there limitations could completely demolish them but them not getting the education they want everyday from distractions. This means students being noisy while it's work time or if they like learning a different way like hands on instead of verbally. The students the dropout either have the reason that they have too much work to do and can't handle it anymore or they don't understand the content. What I mean on the part that students drop out because they have too much work is most likely they have jobs or a child and don't have the time to get everything or they just are frustrated on how much work they

All through high school one always wonders why certain courses have to be taken. Thinking certain courses are a waste of one’s time and how it takes 12 years just to receive a diploma. Sounds crazy to think half of one’s life is spent in school preparing to receive a better understanding of education. During graduation, walking through the stage makes one along other proud and accomplished of all the efforts that took place. This not only helps one become more educated and aware of the things going around them, but helps become financially stable with a job or other necessities in life. Therefore, high school should be mandatory for students at least till there are 18, and not to drop-out.

More importantly, research studies have shown that there is “no significant difference” between online and face-to-face in traditional measures of achievement in most situations. (Means, Barbara, xv). That being the case, college’s student discovers themselves with another obligation than getting a degree. Family and jobs make equal demands on their time. Eventually, having the option of taking online classes and studying with their own time management is seriously important. As an example, a student who is working full time because he needs money to go to
